Went to see the owls again last yesterday evening. The daddy was in a pine tree in the deep shade. So I put the flash on him. He looked a little annoyed, but stayed. What do you think. DEVIL OWL!!!

I think that without the flash, the owl would have been lost. Good decision. I would love to catch an owl as grand as this, Duane. Well done. --Rick

Thanks for the comments. I will be chasing him and his family some more. The babies are starting to fly. Want to get flying shots. My employer seems to think all I have to do is WORK!!

Very nice catch Duane. Owls seem to be scarce around here. I hear them occasionally, but the terrain they are in is almost verticle. :)

Very nice shot and good use of the flash. Owls are interesting birds and always nice to see.

Very nice capture of a species I have had the fortune of photographing many times. The red eyes are my only nit...were my only nit as Keith has done a great job of making them natural again. Nice!
